Eyes, Urine Yellow, Wbc 0, S.bilirubin Tb 1.0, Db 0.4, Undergoing Myasthenia Gravis Treatment. Taking Wysolone, Azoran. Jaundice?

Sir,
I Am taking wysolone 20mg ( 2-0-0) for the last 8 months and Azoran 50mg (1-0-1) for the last one month. I am under treatment for myasthania gravis. For the last 3-4 days my eyes are yellow and urine is yellow in color. The recent blood count report says that WBC is 0000 & s.bilirubin is TB 1.0 & DB 0.4. I am confused now whether the yellow color of my eyes & urine is due to medicinal effect or am I suffering from jaundice... Can you pl tell...

Hello,

Thanks for posting on HCM,

From your description it is obvious that you having problems with your liver. Jaundice is simply a symptom that indicates that there is damage to bilirubin which might be as a result of liver or bile diseases. This is most likely caused by azoran (Azathioprine) which is an immunosuppressive medication with various mechanisms that can also lead to damage to the liver given that it is known carcinogenic (cancer causing medication). I suggest you see your doctor as soon as possible so he can do a proper review, run LFT, CT scan of abdomen and decide whether you should continue with your medications or not. You will likely need to stop your medications.

hope this helps
